Abstract
Canada's approach to developing a strategic capability of integrating science and technology into its international trade and foreign relations agenda has remained largely stagnant, while its domestic strategy for S&T has flowered. Canada is not perceived by the global industry and investment community to have a strong industrial R&D capacity: this may be hindering ready access to emerging international technology. Nevertheless, the quality of Canada's academic and industrial research is widely regarded internationally as of the highest calibre. As long as international S&T issues remain somewhat peripheral and occasionally referenced in the national innovation or foreign policy reviews, Canada's links to international S&T activities will probably remain disassociated from the explicit drive to a coordinated strategy for national S&T. For this to change, structural change will have to take place as well as a significant alteration in the attitude of Canada's major sectors of innovation and research performance.
